How to be an Extra in ‘The Vampire Diaries’

At least once a week someone asks us how they can be an extra in a specific TV show, and it’s usually the same few shows fans are most curious about – Gossip Girl, Glee, 90210, Supernatural, Law and Order: SVU, The Vampire Diaries, and a handful of other popular series.

So, in the interest of saving time, we thought we’d start a new weekly series giving a little bit of information about how to be a background actor in some of these shows, if the information is readily available.

To kick things off we have some details about being an extra in The WB series The Vampire Diaries. The first thing to know is that in order to be an extra (on any show) you usually need to live within a close proximity to where the show is filmed – in the case of TVD that means you must live in the Atlanta, GA area.

Extras casting for The Vampire Diaries is handled by Cherrix Casting in Atlanta. Though the Cherrix website states you must be registered with their agency to be considered for a role in any of the projects they are casting, they also have a notice posted on the site staying they are currently looking for extras for The Vampire Diaries, including the following instructions:
